Scandium-bipyridine-catalyzed enantioselective aminolysis of meso-epoxides

, p. 2729 - 2741 (2008/03/14)
The scandium-bipyridine-catalyzed enantioselective addition of anilines and O-alkyl hydroxylamines to meso-epoxides has been optimized and extended to a broad range of epoxides and amines. Whereas aromatic meso-epoxides generally furnished the corresponding 1.2-amino alcohols in Excellent enantioselectivities, aliphatic meso-epoxides only gave rise to moderate enantioselectivities in the aminolysis. The catalyst loading may be lowered to just 5 mol% with only marginal effects on yield and enantioselectivity. A strong positive nonlinear effect has been observed, pointing to aggregation phenomena of the catalyst.
Lewis base catalyzed, enantioselective aldol addition of methyl trichlorosilyl ketene acetal to ketones
Denmark, Scott E.,Fan, Yu,Eastgate, Martin D.
, p. 5235 - 5248 (2007/10/03)
The catalytic enantioselective addition of an acetate enolate equivalent to ketones is described. Methyl trichlorosilyl ketene acetal reacts with a wide range of ketones in the presence of pyridine N-oxide to afford the aldol addition products in excellen
